> now our toughbook CF-19 touchscreens can't be calibrated

I also use toughbooks, CF-29s and CF-30s, which I think use the same
resistive touchscreen as the CF-19s, that requires software calibration.
Unfortunately all the cool new tiny (and very delicate) touchscreen
tablets and laptops use multi-touch capacitive, which either doesn't
require calibration or can do firmware calibration so the OS doesn't
need to do software calibration.  Toughbooks may be some of the last
systems still using (single-touch) resistive touchscreens (as far as I
know, because they are far more durable, don't require a delicate glass
screen, aren't affected by a dirty screen, and can be used with gloved
hands).  That is probably why not many people have been affected by this
bug.

I had been living with this bug for a long while now because i didn't
have time to work on it, but I'll try to find some time in the next few
weeks to fix it, if it's affecting others as well.  (Unless anyone else
wants to fix it first, of course :-)
